From the beginning, Rutabaga Stories...Understandblue....
1.She's just a girl that loves blue.
2.She's sneaky.
3.She can make you cry happy tears with one phone call!
Sounds simple, but Lydia is so much more. She is an artist with heart, and one of the most encouraging people I have never met! Lol- she babysat me through my Dirt Pile days, and always made me smile! I can still hear her “SQUEEEEEE” and the heart-felt delight that came with that phrase. Lydia, thank you for all you are.
Today this card spoke to me, and helped me to Understandblue....
Keeping your layout, and using a bird image, I distressed the edges, added some pearls, stitches and my favorite delish blue satin ribbon in your honor. Hugs-n-Squeeee's to you sweet friend! Enjoy your day! (I haz a happy!)
Thanks for looking!

OMG, Pat...this is just such a beauty for Lydia. And, you did it in blue just for her. Being a bird lover, this one just sends me into a spin. You did BIG, as usual.

Oh my, Pat, this is the perfect card to honor Lydia!!! All blue, with touches of your favorite chocolate brown watercoloring to enhance it's "gorgeousness"!! Love the popped up bird and that wonderful distressing, your 'wandering' stitching (love that name!) the pearly swirl and super DELISH bow!! Your sentiment could not be a more perfect word than to describe what Lydia brings to all of us - "BLESSINGS".
This is a first class card to honor a first class lady!!
